The Sick GazeAuthor: Molly Dickerson
Welcome to the Sick Gaze podcast, a series where we dive deep into the complexities of life with chronic illness, attempt to break down gendered barriers within healthcare, and advocate for disability justice. Drawing inspiration from Laura Mulveys concept of the male-gaze, The Sick Gaze challenges the existing narrative norms by offering a platform for diverse lived experiences. In a world where stories are often filtered through able-bodied perspectives, our podcast strives to bring visibility to invisible conditions. Join us as we navigate the complexities of life with chronic illness, fostering empathy, understanding, and ultimately, creating a community that embraces and validates the stories that have long remained in the shadows.

"Race, Class, Gender, Ability: You Cannot Separate Them" - Managing Lupus with Diane Carroll
Episode 4
Friday, 22 March, 2024
On this episode of the Sick Gaze, with special guest Diane Carroll, we dive deep into the complexities of chronic illness. We dissect what it means to live a "normal" life, allowing us to take a closer look at how often we define ourselves by what we do, not who we are. Referencing her experiences with lupus, Diane graciously and hilariously guides us through self-acceptance and embracing the diversity of rich lived experiences. Diane shares the deep challenges of living with lupus, kidney disease, and a kidney transplant, as well as encourages others to break free of the shame associated with disability. She shows us, along with all of the other amazing participants of this podcast, that through chronic illness, there can be suffering as well as liberation. We also examine racial disparities in kidney disease evals and treatments in the SC Lowcountry and the broader context of racial injustice in healthcare. Diane's resilience inspires us all to "just keep showing up". Take care of your spoons! If you're interested in being interviewed for this podcast, click here.
